i was able to use this with my ipod touch 2nd gen, but i also got roqy bluetooth stack for the ipod so it would connect to things other than shoes and headsets...

I"m trying to get it to work today but so far, can't get it to pair with the ipod touch new gen....I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong though but will try to post back here what I find out.

I actually contacted Satechi for their recommendation for IPOD FM receiver, this was their suggestion, but I have the IPOD touch 4th gen. I would probably check with them before ordering. This one worked fine with my iPod touch, but had ordered the Satechi Soundfly i too, and it is really worth the extra money!

Hey Dave,No, that's whats nice about this receiver. All you need to do is buy a GPS app that fits you, they range in price from about $15 to over $60. I use CoPilot, also I have an iPod so Make sure you have a 30 pin connector on your iPhone. If your not sure what app will work for you or if the receiver is compatible with your device just email Emprum at support@emprum.com They will probably get back to you the same day.

Thank you for your quick response. I have an older iPod that does not have Bluetooth.

I use Bluetooth to stream the music from my Android phone. I believe the USB port will help with the iPhone/iPod, etc. as it seems that Parrot Bluetooth has connectivity issues with Apple products. Here's a forum that addresses the topic - http://forum.parrot.com/usa/viewtopic.php?id=15420. I haven't tried using an iPod with this unit, yet. But, I will try one and let you know how it works. Otherwise, this is a great sounding unit and was a huge upgrade over the Clarion head unit that came factory with our boat. Hope this helps.

Hello, mine is working with my ipad. But, to answer your question, should work with your iPod touch with no problem through bluetooth connection. Great piece, recommended. It´s in another league.

Yes. I actually have an iPhone 5 connected to Bluetooth and an iPhone 4 connected with this cord for iPod functionality and to use an offline gps app. It allows you to select between BT audio and iPod sound using the mix function.

The GNS 5870 GPS receiver works over bluetooth with any wifi only ipad and others also. You can use it with any navigation app of which there are dozens. Also Navionics charts. I have also used Navigon and Igo for road navigation. Plus google maps, open street maps, Galileo etc.

Will this work with music players that only have Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR such as the older iPod Touch 2nd Gen?

Have not tried it. I used the Bluetooth player primarily for the ipod touch during my workouts. I believed there should not be any problem hooking to a bluetooth device as it paired easily with the ipod touch.

Hi Tikla, all I can tell you is that I can't get it to work with my 5th generation iPod Touch. Actually it did show the right area one time but every other time it shows somewhere in California, never moving, and the unit always shows the red spinning globe icon indicating no satellite lock. The software I've been trying is the MotionX-GPS 20.0.

Thanks! I will check out the bad elf gps receiver, maybe it would be worthwhile for my ipod 4g.

I'm in the market for a good portable unit for my fourth generation iPod Touch. I found these reviews/comparisons very helpful, except that I still haven't seen an answer to the compatibility question.J. Hansen

Hi Hasan, Dumb question, did you charge the cradle first? You can tell if it has a change by turning it to GPS and touching the button below it. If the blue lights come on you are good to go. If not, switch it to Battery and charge it for a few hours. This is not a BT device, so there is no need to search for it. You should be able to attach your touch to it, turn it to GPS, and then launch your GPS software. I had one for my 4th gen touch and it worked great with the Garmin driving software... until iOS6 came out. Once I upgraded to iOS6, it wouldn't work. I got frustrated with it, and since I was due for a new phone, I went Android with a built in GPS. I really think that iOS is the issue, as mine was great until then. But like I said, I gave up after playing with it for about 3 hours. I suggest you contact Dual if nothing else works. James

I returned the unit though it came with a HD. It did not work. I am using Qsee that works well with Apple iphone but well over accessing remotely via internet windows.

Hit would work like any bluetooth device. I would check on eBay and you may be able to find one for less. I am happy with mine, it does work, but a challenge to install. Check out some of the others available on eBay. I have only used for GPS , not as a phone device.

Yes, It works on my Apple IPad. I've used the maps function and it works great. If the GPS did't work the map function wouldn't work.
